Here are the Sweet 16 most-watched college football games thus far this season. Note that not a single one featured two Big 12 teams. The Big Ten dominates with four intraconference games. Note: There is not a single Notre Dame game on the list.

That, of course, might change Saturday night when TCU, the No. 6 team in the CFP rankings, travels to No. 5 Oklahoma to play in a 7 p.m. Fox prime-time game with Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt on the call.

At the same time, however, Notre Dame (No. 3) visits Miami (No. 7) on ABC with Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit in the booth.

Book this: The TCU-Oklahoma game will dominate the ratings in Dallas-Fort Worth. Nationally, Notre Dame-Miami will be the runaway viewers' choice. The only questions are how many more viewers will Notre Dame-Miami get and will TCU-Oklahoma crack the Sweet 16.

Here's a rundown of the Sweet 16 with No. 24 added for an obvious reason.

Around the Horn: The Mavericks' loss to Minnesota last Saturday night that dropped them to 1-10 scored an 0.1 rating on Fox Sports Southwest. That has to be an all-time Mavericks low. It represents about 2,700 homes. Previously winless Baylor's victory over one-win Kansas earlier in the day scored an 0.2 on FSSW. The Mavericks rebounded to a 1.0 for Tuesday night's victory over Washington. ... Ralph Strangis, once the voice of the Stars, will be the radio voice of the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. He will also have some U.S. women's duty. Westwood One-NHL Radio will produce the games. Strangis also reports that his first novel, four years in the writing, is complete. It's self-published, available on Amazon and titled Saving Lenny Franks. "A satirical look at the end of the world," Strangis said.
